TerentiusJ

Hello guys, thanks the moderator create the account for me. This is Terentius from East Lansing, Michigan. I recently acquire my first johnson m1941 in an accident fun bid. It is not perfect one, it is a sporting m1941. Showing on ArtR's March 4th monitoring. sn4256 is the one I accidentally get. I'd like to ask for some research help. I haven't stripped it to see internal serial number yet. Will update when I do it. Before join in the this forum, I have read many old post about looking for proper military pattern stock or purchase a reproduction one. From my undstanding, this one has been reblued and sanded/ redo the furnitures. The receiver numbers and marking are very faded. I'd like to hear anything from you. Thanks

Yes. I did some research on YouTube, the milsurp world did have a video on how to change the sporting stock to proper military one. https://youtu.be/CM66Gg-KXro?si=8bg-FOrbpIcRlP-k I think I need to order some extra parts like butt plate, cross pin screw before destroy the og sporting stock.

Yes, I might buy it later this week. Will make a call to Jesse to talk about detail. Besides the scale of recoil tube drilling, is there any other places is crucial to a good repro stock

Good to hear it. I sent an email to Jesse, the person who run the pretigious stocks, this morning about the detail of recoil tube drilling. Here is the major reply" I did work out the drilling for that tube, it was a super pain lol, had to build some custom jigs for my custom drilling machine. But it got it, the tube will be a Snug fit it's. 625od and drilled with a .625 drill bit, and its double drilled for clearance on the shoulder of the tube(also a pain lol) but got it now. " From the reply, he gave me the phone number for future call. I'd like to gather some questions from the forum about the concerns and questions about their johnson repro stock. Please let me know, I hope Trapdoor's information will become a great benefit for all the people have sporting stock that want to restore it.

Thank you ArtR, that what I think as well. It is a dealer assembled johnson automatic. I have contacted with Murray's gunstock about potential JSAR stock production. It will be a interesting journey to restore it.

Here are some update pictures. The parts overall a mix batch fron unserialized lot to prefix lot. The surface has been polished and reblued. overall parts at good condition. Stock is pretty solid, but unfortunately sportrized. Both extractor and charing handle has some pattern of polishing. There is no serial number on the extractor. Also there are few pictures less than 2MB failed to upload. Showing " There was a problem processing the uploaded file. -200 "

Hi ArtR, I check at daylight. You are right, it is a number 8 instead of 6. The number is round up on both side, which should be 8. Thanks for you update. I am currently take it part and get picture to compress. Will give an update soon. I am glad to share more with everyone in here.
